T cell exosome–derived miR-142-3p impairs glandular cell function in Sjögren’s syndrome

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that mainly affects exocrine salivary and lacrimal glands. Local inflammation in the glands is thought to trigger glandular dysfunction and symptoms of dryness. However, the mechanisms underlying these processes are incompletely understood. Our work suggests T cell exosome–derived miR-142-3p as a pathogenic driver of immunopathology in SS. We first document miR-142-3p expression in the...
